Where all compulsions meet. In 1920, following the death of his
disturbed mother, brilliant psychologist Amadeus Arkham began the
conversion of his ancestral home into a hospital for the treatment
of the mentally ill. More than half a century later, the Arkham
Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a place of dismal corridors and
oppressive shadows a dark riddle in stone and timber, best left
unsolved. Within its claustrophobic walls the demented and deformed
enemies of the Batman brood in padded cells and unlit cellars,
dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world
of reason. That day has finally come. It is April 1st, and the
lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by the Joker, Arkham s
inmates issue a terrible ultimatum to the man responsible for their
imprisonment. The Batman must descend into this heart of darkness,
confront his greatest foes, and face the truth of his own divided
identity or condemn himself to share their fate. Written by
legendary comics creator Grant Morrison and beautifully illustrated
and restored by artist Dave McKean, this deluxe edition collects
the fully painted story together with Morrison s complete annotated
script and page layouts as well as a 16-page gallery of preliminary
and promotional art by McKean and an afterword by editor Karen
Berger.

years after a generation of '60s British superpowered heroes came
and went, the teenage pop star Zenith is the only superhuman left -
and his only interest in women, drugs, alchohol and fame. So when
he is contacted about the threat from the many-angled ones and the
impending destruction of our world, his first reaction is to steer
well clear. But the superhumans of the past have other plans...

first chapter of the new DC Universe film and television slate!

the endlessly creative minds of comics legends Grant Morrison and

Knight. The mysterious Talia, daughter of arch villain Ra's al Ghul
and Batman's one-time love, returns with a boy named Damian and
claims the child is Batman's. Stunned, the Dark Knight takes the
child in, but the boy, raised among the brutal dictates of the

Bruce Wayne's newly adopted heir and Alfred, Wayne's faithful
butler, find themselves targets of this genetically perfect and
very angry child. Is Damian really just a misguided boy trying to

indoctrination left him an operative solely designed to destroy

A drag queen becomes obsessed with her mysterious young rival who
might be an occultist, or a murderer . . . or the greatest star of
all “If Sontag’s notion of camp became a religion this would be
a seminal text. A glorious exploration of the borderlands of
identity, gender and lippy.†Denise Mina Luci LaBang is a star:
for decades this flamboyant drag artist has cast a spell over
screen and stage. Now she’s the leading lady in a smash hit
pantomime. When Luci’s co-star meets with a mysterious accident,
a new ingenue shimmers onto the scene, and Luci is immediately
smitten with the fantastically beautiful Luda and her sinister
charm. Luda begs Luci to share the secrets of her stardom
and to reveal the hidden tricks of her trade. For Luci LaBang is a
mistress of the Glamour, an arcane discipline that draws on sex,
drugs, and the occult for its trancelike, transformative
effects. But as Luci tutors her young protégée, their
fellow actors and crew members begin meeting with untimely ends.
Now Luci wonders if Luda has mastered the Glamour all too well.
What follows is an intoxicating descent into the demimonde of
Gasglow, a fantastical city of dreams, and into the nightmarish
heart of Luda herself: a femme fatale, a phenomenon, a monster,
and, perhaps, the brightest star of them all.
